PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT
In tillage, the best protection against
drought that can be conveniently practised
to a great extent, is frequently stirring the
earth, so as to keep it light and loose.
In this way, the earth at the surface is in
many small particles, which serve as a non
conductor of moisture, and retains it below,
where the roots obtain a supply.
On the contrary, when the earth is hard
and compact, the moisture is readily con
ducted off through it, even to a great depth
it) a very dry time. As an illustration, if
one end of a long bar of iron be put into a
tire, the heat will readily pass to the other
end ; but if that bar be cut into pieces of
one inch or less in length, and laid along in
the manner of a bar, the pieces would touch
in some places, and in others there would be
a small space between them ; and on heat
ing one end, the other would not bo effect
ed, as the heat would not pass but a small
space through the pieces.
Again, we will suppose that a fire of in
tense heat be made on a block of iron, that
is four feet square, and ten feet high, the
body of iron would fast become heated
downward, even to the bottom. Now, if that
iron should be cut or broken into line pie
ces, and a body of iron formed of these pie
ces, of the same size as the block, and a fire
of like degree of heat made thereon, the
fire would work down slowly, after penetra
ting a small distance through the many
particles, and the air intervening between
them. We give this as the theory. It is
the practice, as in all other things, that we
rely on as the foundation of true science.
There is in a dry time, a great quantity
of moisture in the earth, that is continually
rising and passing off in evaporation ; and J
if this evaporation can be prevented, in a j
great measure by a non-conductor of mois
ture at the surface, the plants will suffer
comparatively but little. This is abun
dantly shown in practice.
Those who have not witnessed from ex
periments and observations the advantages
of fine loose earth on the surface, as a pio
tection of plants against the drought, would
not be likely to suppose its effects so great
as it is, though die theory is plausible and
reasonable. Corn and other vegetables
that have been well hoed in extremely dry
times, have flourished well, while some
parts left for experiment, were nearly de
stroyed by drought.
We noticed the powerful effects of this
protection last season. We cultivated a
few acres mostly dry land, and the drought
was severe indeed. Where the soil was fre
quently stirred and kept light and loose on
the top, there was a constant moisture a
short distance from the top ; but where the
earth remained unmoved it dried to a great
depth.
A narrow strip, running across the piece,
was left for turnips, & remained unplough
cd. On this the soil became dry below the
usual depth of ploughing, and the weeds
were almost dead for want of moisture,
while at the side, weeds were fresh and vi
gorous, and the soil was dry only a few in
ches on the surface. j
Where some grain was sowed, the earth
was dry down six or seven inches ; while
by the side of it, where the soil was often
stirred, it was dried down only three or four
inches. And in this latter case, the moist
earth had a good deal of moisture, while
the former contained but little.
On this subject an intelligent cultivator
observed, that he would rather have six men
among lands, stirring the earth to keep it
loose and fine, in a severe drought, than to
have the same number of men engaged in
watering the plants.

RAISING OF CALVES FOR VEAL.
There is perhaps no meat which comes
to our markets in so indifferent a state as
that of Veal. When proper care is taken
with calves, there is no variety of flesh ap
propriated to the consumption of man, more
palitable or gratifying to the human appe
tite, and yet notwithstanding this fact, from
the indifference manifested by those who
prepare them for the butcher, there is no
meat, generally speaking, brought to the
shambles so utterly destitute of all preten
tions to fitness of condition. A calf, if pro
perly fed, would command as veal, such
price as would be ample remuneration for
all trouble and expense for rearing and
feeding; but as they are now brought to
market, there is no part of the product of
the farm which pays so indifferently well.
And as there is a remedy at hand, this evil
should be corrected.
AV ith a view of contributing our mite to
wards the reform of this custom, of bringing
‘poor calves to the slaughter, we will detail
a method of making fat ones, which we
have seen successfully pursued :
The calf when first calved should be ta
ken from the mother and confined in a dry
dark room, with plenty of bedding. The
mother should be let to it to suckle it three
times a day at regular hoars, and the calf
should receive all her milk.
When the calf is a week old, in addition
to its mother’s milk, it should be given be
tween the morning and mid-day and even
ing times of suckling, force balls made of
raw egg and half a pint of corn meal at
each mess ; the balls to be made of conve
nient size to be given the calf without diffi
culty. The manner of feeding which we
have seen pursued is this : the calf’s head
is held up and backwards by the feeder with
one hand, who opens the calf’s mouth with
the other, and thrusts the force ball down
towards the root of the tongue, when, by
‘’loping and holding the •’■'■•tth. the calf is
compelled to swallow the ball. These two
additional feeds will answer until the third
week, when another egg and additional half
pint of meal must be given, about an hour
after the evening suckling. By feeding in
this way, in four weeks the calf will be in
good condition and ready for the butcher,
and will command ns much again as one
which receives nothing but mother’s milk.
These bails would be the better of being
made up with milk which had been scald
ed.
Should this method of feeding scour, that
may be very promptly corrected, by mixing
with the balls a teaspoon-full of powdered
chalk, and add one-fourth that quantity of
powdered alum.
A calf which is largo and strong, may
be further improved by being fed with sweet
skimmed milk. The calf may be taught
to drink the milk by forcing its head down
into the vessel containing it, and inserting
the forefinger into its mouth for a day or
two. And the color of the veal may be
greatly improved by subjecting the calf to
the operation of bleeding, twice during the
fattening period, say at intervals of'2 weeks
apart.
At all times the calf should have in a
trough convenient to it, with two apartments
a small quantity of good hay, and grass of
some kind, at either of which it may pick
when it pleases.
ENGRAFTING LARGE TREES.
From some recent experiments it would
appear that there is no difficulty in engraft
ing trees of any size on to other stumps, if
the two correspond in size. It is only re
quisite to cut off both and plane them
smooth, so that every part shall come in
contact; then placing the tree on the stump,
secure it in its new position by braces, and
cover the seam or joint with engrafting wax.
MISCEL L ANEOUS.
AN EXTENSIVE SPECULATOR.
Some days ago we noticed the arrest at
St. Louis, of a man named Bruce, for sel
ling a forged check for SSOO to Messrs,
Benoist & Cos. The St. Louis Republican
gives a curious history of the gentleman,
who turns out lobe a near relative of the
Hon. Thomas H. llenton, of the United
States Senate.
A few years ago says the Republican,
Thomas Benton Bruce came to Maysville, I
Ivy., about as fine, noble-looking a fellow :
as might be met with in a month’s travel, i
in possession ofa splendid iron grey char- I
ger, richly caparisoned, upon which he fre
quently shined most brightly to the admira
tion of all beholders, and not only to admi
ration, but to effect—for he took captive, by
means of these exhibitions, in connexion
with a profuse display of other graces, as
w’ell as the grace of possessing a fine horse,
the heart ofa rich widow in that little city,
whom he married in some two or three
months after his arrival there.
After marriage they took a jaunt to Sara
toga and Ballston Springs, in New York,
where he dashed around like a true noble
man during the watering season, and re
turned to his residence, his new and com
fortable residence at Maysvillo. On their
! return they stopped at Pittsburg, where the
| lady’s father resided, and sojourned there
several days.
But it came to pass, upon his arrival at
home, that he was taken down with the
small pox—the worst kind of a way—the
infection of which he had received in Pitts
burg. But what was worse than the small
pox, if not for him, at least for his wife, du
ring their absence intelligence had reached
Maysville that, through the influence of the
uncle of this Mr. Bruce, the Hon. Thomas
Hart Benton, of the United States Senate,
he had in bygone years been appointed a
postmaster in North or South Carolina—
and that for making rather free with the
contents of the mail bags he had been elec
ted for a goodly number of years to the
penitentiary of that State—for a period ter
minating somewhere in the teens General
Jackson set him at liberty ; and at the pe
riod now spoken of, he finds himself very
comfortably located in Maysville, bating
the small-pox.
Upon the receipt of this information, his
wife instead of informing him thereof, wrote
on to the Governor Chambers, at Washing
ton City, who was then the Representative
in Congress of the Maysville (Ky.) district
to procure for her all the information he
could respecting the matter, and to com
municate the same to her. Before the gen
tleman was half well, or in travelling or
der, she received an answer from the Gov
ernor, confirming the report in all its details.
After he had recovered so far as to be able
to travel with safety to himself, he was one
night very politely escorted to a steamboat
at the wharf, and very significantly
charged to put out, and never show his face
in Maysville again—a charge which he
has ever since religiously observed, so far
as is known.
The next information we have of him is
in Scott county, in this State, where he
marries another rich widow, whose proper
ty he swamps by a mortgage to the tune of
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. The
mortgage being foreclosed by the creditor,
somebody, not known who, to a certainty,
went and poisoned the trees of a fine young
orchard of choice fruit which grew upon the
mortgaged premises, and set fire to and
burned down the buildings thereon. Who
did this is not exactly known ; but about
the same time the gentleman decamped,
and left his innocent seffering wife—not on
ly minus her estate, but also to be arrested
and undergo an investigation upon the sus
picion of the commission of a crime of his
own or someone else’s.
Such is the biography of our hero, so far
as it has been narrated to us. The hiatus,
between the time of his decampment from
Scott county and his triumphal entrance
into our city, remains to be filled up by fu
ture developements.
Avarice, says Rollin, is a great gulf
which would not be filled, if the world
were thrown into it
